That is a nice early photo. These non-HJ-daggers were later forbidden to be worn together with the uniform.
Thanks for showing.

That's a very nice photo. Nice early sleeve rune and good view of a non-standard knife as Christian says.

 

[Gefolgschaft]

Great photograph. Nice to see the early style Sigrune as said already not often seen in photos.

I never saw such a thing before. It looks wrong to me.

 

[Paul Ayerst]

AIN'T nothing wrong there several of us have examples . You should get some good reference books it will be a great help

We live and learn, Paul.
It still looks ugly to me; this is what I meant by "wrong" - no implication that is was not authentic.

I think if you had one in hand you would really like it, the picture does not do the insignia justice

Maybe so, Paul.
It baffles my sense of style not to have a visor on which the chinstrap can rest. That's just me.

 

[cemifor]

Also the chinstrap is OK, but in most cases it was hidden on the inside of the cap.

The right place for it.

Wilhelm Saris is working on a book for Bender Publishing, which will deal with HJ headgear. He will also write about this cap with/without visible chinstrap.
